Zhou Daxia quickly pressed down on Hu Yue'er's ankle again, and Granny Cao repeated what she had done before.
After repeating this several times, Jiang Ling was surprised to find that the belly under her hands seemed to be changing. "Grandma! Belly! The belly is moving!"
Grandma Cao didn't reply, but upon hearing Jiang Ling's words, she seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, though she continued working on her tasks.
The feeling of change became clearer and clearer under Jiang Ling's hands. After an unknown amount of time, Granny Cao put away the silver needles and placed her hands on Hu Yue'er's stomach once again.
“Good girl, listen to me now. When I say push, you push. When I say inhale, you inhale, understand?” Granny Cao walked to Hu Yue’er’s side and said to her.
Hu Yue'er barely opened her eyes and nodded weakly.
Granny Cao returned to Hu Yue'er's legs and began calling out commands.
Jiang Ling and Zhou Daxia saw this and were anxious, but they were powerless to do anything about it.
After an unknown amount of time, a loud cry echoed throughout the seemingly simple house.
"It's born! Da Xia (Boss Jiang)!" Jiang Ling and Zhou Da Xia exclaimed in unison, their eyes filled with tears as they hugged each other tightly.
Grandma Cao gently wiped the sweat from her forehead, breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at the crying baby, exclaiming, "You little devil, you almost killed your mother! It's a son!"
After saying this, Granny Cao used hot water to wipe the stains off the baby's body, wrapped it simply in a cloth, and carried it to Hu Yue'er's side.
Hu Yue'er glanced at her son, then her whole body relaxed, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.
"Yue'er!" Jiang Ling and Zhou Daxia rushed to Hu Yue'er's side in alarm and cried out.
Grandma Cao's relaxed expression immediately turned serious.
"Find him! Find Doctor Zhu quickly!" Jiang Ling said to Zhou Daxia with the last shred of her sanity.
Before long, Dr. Zhu, panting heavily, was dragged over by Zhou Daxia. After seeing Granny Cao, Dr. Zhu first bowed and then began to take Hu Yue'er's pulse.
"Postpartum weakness has depleted her vital energy! She needs precious medicinal herbs like ginseng and lingzhi to replenish her energy!" Doctor Zhu's expression turned extremely grave as he finished speaking.
“If the vital energy cannot be restored in a short time, I’m afraid the person will…” Doctor Zhu added, but he couldn’t bring himself to say the last few words.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Daxia was struck dumb, and she collapsed to the ground with a look of despair on her face.
"Ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum." These precious medicinal herbs were something I only heard about once when I accidentally walked into a herbal medicine shop at a market. The shopkeeper said that a single ginseng root was worth a thousand taels of silver. Even if I sold my possessions, I couldn't afford to buy a single root at such an exorbitant price!
Thinking of this, Zhou Daxia looked at Jiang Ling.
Jiang Ling's complexion was also very bad, especially when she heard Doctor Zhu's last words, her heart ached terribly.
"Doctor Zhu, if we buy ginseng and lingzhi, will they really save Hu Yue'er's life?" Jiang Ling asked earnestly.
Doctor Zhu nodded and said, "That's for sure, these two are excellent for replenishing qi...!"
"How much silver do you need?" Jiang Ling interrupted Zhu Langzhong before he could finish speaking.
Doctor Zhu was also taken aback. He hadn't expected Jiang Ling to be so generous. After carefully calculating, he said, "Fifty taels of silver!"
Jiang Ling nodded and said, "Doctor Zhu, come back with me to get the silver. We can't afford to waste a life!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Daxia burst into tears. She immediately knelt down in front of Jiang Ling and kept kowtowing to her.
The sudden act of Zhou Daxia kowtowing startled Zhu Langzhong and Jiang Ling. She helped Zhou Daxia up and wanted to offer some words of comfort, but Hu Yue'er's life was hanging by a thread, so she could only offer a few perfunctory words before leading Zhu Langzhong toward their home.
Zhu Langzhong lived in Lujia Village. This precious medicine was not available in his shop, so Jiang Ling could only give the money to Zhu Langzhong and then arrange for Jiang Yaojie to drive the carriage with Zhu Langzhong towards Pingxi County.
Jiang Ling hurried to Hu Yue'er's house. Seeing Hu Yue'er's pale face, Jiang Ling was worried that Hu Yue'er would not see Doctor Zhu coming. Taking advantage of the fact that Granny Cao and Zhou Daxia's eyes were on Hu Yue'er, Jiang Ling quickly bought a bag of ginseng extract from the mall.
This kind of product, which belongs to modern technology, will have a very good absorption effect.
Jiang Ling poured the ginseng extract into a bowl, took it inside, and quietly fed the entire bag of ginseng extract to Hu Yue'er.
What followed was a long wait.
After a long while, Hu Yue'er let out a soft groan.
Although the voice wasn't loud, the three people present heard it clearly, and they all looked towards Hu Yue'er.
Hu Yue'er slowly opened her eyes, but she was still extremely weak.
After a brief examination of Hu Yue'er's body and confirming that there were no problems, Granny Cao prepared to leave.
Seeing this, Zhou Daxia insisted on personally taking Granny Cao back. Although Granny Cao wanted to refuse, she eventually agreed due to Zhou Daxia's enthusiasm.
At this moment, only Jiang Ling and Hu Yue'er remained in the room.
"Big sister, I'm so sorry to have troubled you!"
Hu Yue'er's first words made Jiang Lingxin feel a little sore. She shook her head and comforted her, "Adding a new member to the family is a joyous occasion, not a trouble! I actually hope to borrow some of your 'lucky energy' so I can hold my grandson soon!"
Jiang Ling's words amused Hu Yue'er. Looking at Hu Yue'er's pale face, Jiang Ling went to the mall and bought some blood-tonifying medicine. She poured it into a bowl and said to Hu Yue'er, "Drink this. Our family's secret recipe will help you recover after childbirth!"
Hu Yue'er trusted Jiang Ling completely and drank it down without asking any questions.
"Get some rest. After becoming a mother, you have to do many things yourself!" Jiang Ling helped Hu Yue'er put away the bowl and then tucked her in.
